Throne of Blood (Dai's aftermath chapter is up!) [250k+ words]

Cy never actually denied your assumptions if you do confront them about it.

But yeah maybe I should add another option for the MC to think that it’s not intended for them, but instead maybe to protect them

I was mostly thinking that some people might choose to believe in Cy anyway and goes through with it, and if they feel wary about Cy, they won’t choose to spend some time with them :smiley:

But some people might not think about it that way, so thanks for this perspective - I’ll see if I can revisit the scenes!

To specify: Some readers might explicitly be looking for a way to have a private moment with Cy in order to address that, and being given a moment where you can be romantic but not get clarification makes the Heir seem either trusting, or dreadfully impulsive. That was what I was trying to do when I entered the scene, thanks for taking the time to listen to what I had to say. :blush:

Yeah, for me personally, my guesses would be either “this is just for protection” OR “perhaps he did intend to kill me a long time ago, but he obviously hasn’t done so, so he must have changed his mind after meeting me”

I thought the same thing, considering that somewhere it was said that the ritual had side effects on Cy, I guessed that at first she didn’t totally trust us or she was afraid of us and that’s why she got the dagger but she changed her mind at some point.

I just read all three chapters. Love it so far. I am curious to know where its going though. I would be interested to learn more about the demon realm and the other political players, nobles, if the MC has any cousins that might cause trouble for him, did any of his brothers have kids that might seek revenge, etc. Im also super intrigued by his moms side of the family, the people in the heavenly realm, if his family(mom, gramps, angel halfsiblings) are alive there, etc. And don’t even get me started on all the other races, the orcs, beastkin, humans and whatever else might exist in this world. I think the author has definitely set himself up very well with tons of different potential plotlines and points of conflict. I’m really looking forward to the next few chapters to see where this goes. So far, the story telling is very impressive. And i loooove the brutality and extensive gory detail. Very refreshing to see a writer FULLY go there and not be shy about it.

So, I did notice that Female Cyan pronouns switches from time to time. It happened a few times before this but i didn’t think to screenshot those.

I think one of the mistakes happened at the dagger scene When we realize what Cyans plan was, right before jumping out the window, it refers to her as a “him”.

Thank you! My current variable for Cy’s pronoun is cy_he and cy_him so sometimes when my plot bunny is running rampant I just forget to add the variable and instead slap the pronoun only.

Will there be more ROs. I would like more female ROs if you don’t mind.

No more plan for more ROs

Hi! Most of my updates will be on Tumblr now since it’s easier. Chapter 4 is almost complete but I need a few days to test it. I also am planning on updating chapter 2-3. Current chapter 4 release date is 15th February.

I have just finished the first three chapters, and this is amazing. I really love good games where you could be a villain protagonist, and I would love to see more of this type of CoG/HG games in the future.

There is one minor bug in the demo though. It seems the load function isn’t working properly. Sometimes when I load a save file, the game automatically ends. Nonetheless, this didn’t take away from the experience.

Chapter 2 has a typo in the choice chain where you stay hidden.

Agh!" you jolt, your magic flickering the moment the bed is slammed against your back. Inadvertently, you peek behind your shoulders to see Cyan, her back flat on the edge of the bed, no doubt because the cubi threw her off balance. Her clothes are marred by tears that she ignores as she rolls on the bed to avoid a nasty bolt of dark magic. When she stands up and puts a distance between her and her opponents, you see that he’s bleeding. Pronoun mismatch, should be she’s.

hii!! First of all, wow, i love this chapter, so many emotions, the memories, the the complexity of the characters, just, wow!! I see a little error (or i think it is an error)

Blockquote
because in the code you put as var=1 if you hug cy [#Hug him.
*temp var4 1], an for that later, when cy is bowing at you as an emperor: "You have not forgiven him, and you don’t know if you ever will. However, time is a force not to be reckoned with. Who knows what will happen in the future? " even when i choose the option of forgiven him without hesitation xDDD
and early of this, if you make pressure to rabbit boi to speak, “*if (var4=1)
You leer at ${cys} unwelcome intervention, but eventually sighs and pulls away. There’s nothing you can do to force Dai to speak up at this point.”
As reference: [*if (var4=0)
You might have said that you have forgiven ${cy_him}, but it seems that ${cy_he} still has yet to come to terms with ${cy_his} past misgivings. Moments like this, only time will heal ${cy_him}.
*if (var4=1)
You have not forgiven ${cy_him}, and you don’t know if you ever will. However, time is a force not to be reckoned with. Who knows what will happen in the future?] If you hug him is like you dont forget him?

I LOOOOVE this story, thank you so much for all your hard work!!!

Hi, thank you! I’ll have to take a look at it. It does sound like an error.

Also have a few inconsistencies I’ll aim to get fixed this week.

“you know him as a charmer”

when Cyan is a woman and all other text is correct. Seems to be typo.

same here, “hug him” when Cyan is a woman.
